Illyria Edwards, the beautiful mother of three

Who this will help

My name is Marian Mando; this contribution is dedicated to Illyria Edwards, known as Kiki to some and mommy to Isaiah(12), Gabrielle(7) who’s birthday is on the 11th of this month and Ali(4) who’s still waiting on mommy to come walking in threw the door. If only he knew, he’d never get to see his mom’s beautiful face again. Illyria, was an amazing person inside & out with a personality that left a major impact on others.

Why I'm fundraising

On December 31st going into the New Year… Illyria was just like many others preparing herself for the new year to come. Her family was her New Year resolution, she didn’t want anything more but for her kids to be happy. She had it all planned out, she wanted to buy a forever home and also wanted to invest into a trust fund for her kids. Illyria, was really excited about her new Career and also was in school seeking a bigger and better opportunity for 2024.

But unfortunately 10 minutes into the new year, her whole life had changed. Officers responded to Highway 386, where Illyria’s life was taken in a head on collision by a negligent driver . With no cameras onsite or witness presence. There was no more Illyria, god had called her home.

Before closing this dedication, the only thing Kiki wanted was for her kids to be blessed….better yet forever blessed.! Please be mindful that nothing is too small, anything giving goes a long way. I know that Kiki, would be grateful for what is given.

Psalm 34:18 - “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
